The wait is over! The cast, pit band, and crew for the musical Matilda have worked tirelessly since November to put on an outstanding show when the curtains open next week on Thursday, March 10.
“I can’t wait for everyone to see the final product,” exclaimed Kimberly Cipriani (Play/Musical Coordinator and BHS Choir teacher).
Many students are excited to see this year’s musical lead (Matilda) that will be played by sixth grader, Marissa Kenderes.
“I am most excited about the music in this year’s musical. I heard the leading role, Matilda (Marissa), is great at singing,” said Junior Laura Nguyen.
Nguyen is also a member of the crew and when asked what the most difficult part of creating this year’s set was, she replied: “This year, we have moved away from the large, structural sets that we used to do in the past. It was really difficult to think of imaginative sets that were interesting since it is smaller than prior years.”
The schedule for the musical is March 10-11, starting at 7:00 p.m. It will also be performed on March 12 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 apiece.
“All of our students in the cast, pit, and crew have been working very hard, and opening night will be the first time they will finally get the applause they deserve,” stated Cipriani.

It is time for Matilda, so for all involved, break a leg!
